Walther <br /> Execwive Director <br /> Michael B. Long <br /> Division Director <br />On 12/16/99, DMG received a complete application for Technical Revision #4 (TR-04) to <br />the JD-7 Pit. Under TR-04, the operator has provided the provision, required by Rule <br />4.2.1(81, for operations having a reclamation bond with a federal land management <br />agency. Pursuant to Rule 1.9.1, DMG decision date is 1/1512000. <br />DMG records indicate that DMG may currently hold $189,784 excess financial warranty. <br />This estimation of excess financial warranty is based upon DMG's 7/20/99 reclamation <br />cost estimation totaling 51,332,216, and the existing financial warranties held by DOE <br />(51,206,000) and DMG (5316,000), totaling 51,522,000. <br />On 12/8/99, DMG received the operator's response, dated 12/3/99, to DMG's 7/20/99 <br />reclamation cost estimation and notice to increase the financial warranty. The operator's <br />12/8/99 submittal estimates total reclamation cost at 5941,978. Therefore, and pursuant <br />to Rule 4.2.118), the operator's 12/8/99 submittal indicates that DMG holds S315,900 <br />excess financial warranty. DMG is reviewing the operator's 12/8/99 submittal as part of <br />TR-04. <br />Please contact me at the DMG Durango Office, 701 Camino Del Rio, Room 125, Durango, <br />CO 81301, phone (970) 247-5469, if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~/,-- <br />Wallace H.
